You mention that wealth disparity is a possibility with the application of new technologies, and cite the importance of equality in benefits. I think that assertion raises an interesting question. Are there any examples of a new technology that truly ‘achieves equality in its benefits?’ For example, environmentally-conscious products can be expensive; on one hand, they benefit the environment but on the other hand, they are inaccessible to lower-income Americans.
Another question raised is if there a way that AI or data management could address this? It’s fascinating to explore ethical concerns and how standards are defined and maintained!
